Abstract
The insecticidal effects of nortriterpene quinone methides (pristimerin, tingenonee, and 20-alpha-hydroxytingenone) are reported for the first time. The natural products were isolated from Maytenus sp. (Celastraceae) and their effects tested on larvae of codling moth (Cydia pomonella, Lepidoptera: Tortricidae). The three metabolites produce the same effects on codling moth larvae that azadirachtin does, although at higher concentrations. 20-alpha-Hydroxytingenone was the most active compound, showing lethal, antifeedant, and insect growth regulation activities. Pristimerin showed also a high antifeedant activity together with its molt effect suppression. Tingenone showed the lowest activity. The differences in the activity of the three products are related to the structure of the E ring.
